2007 South Dakota State Women’s Soccer Season Outdook Now entering the eighth season of women’s soccer at South Dakota State, head coach Lang Wedemeyer is accustomed to starting over. He first put the team together from scratch in 2000 before SDSU began its transition to the Division I level in 2004. In 2006, his team joined the United Soccer Conference for just one season and now, he takes his team to a more permanent home in The Summit League. Similar to his previous journeys, Wedemeyer will look to keep his team on an upward path in their new home, following the school’s first conference title as SDSU captured the 2006 United Soccer Conference tournament championship. Not only did last year’s team reach unprecedented heights for a third-year Division I program, but the squad lost just four seniors, only one of which was a regular starter. Maggie Eilers, Jenn Davis, Karoline Brause, and Janel Brown all ended their collegiate careers on Nov. 5, 2006, when the Jacks captured the USC crown with a 1-0 victory over rival North Dakota State. The climb to the top in The Summit League will prove to be far more difficult for the eighth edition of Wedemeyer’s South Dakota State Jackrabbits, as SDSU is in its final year of reclassification and will be ineligible for post-season competition. “It’s certainly a bit of a letdown after having won the United Soccer Conference Championship last year to not have an end of the year tournament to look forward to,” Wedemeyer said. The program will have plenty to build on, as the 2007 roster includes just four seniors and boasts an incoming class of 12. Playing in their final season, the four seniors will be the first to have played their entire SDSU careers at the Division I level. “We have four hard working young ladies who can each lead in her own way to help facilitate both the inclusion of the freshmen as well as the heightened competition level within the conference,” Wedemeyer said. “Along with being leaders on and off the field, our four seniors will leave their legacy as a group that helped transform our program in our Division I transition and have laid a wonderful foundation for the future.” Juniors Chelsea Goosen (Olathe, Kan.), Kellyn Farrell (Littleton, Colo.), and Kerstyn Farrell (Littleton, Colo.) combined for 39 points in 2006, while seniors Kelsey Worcester (Anamosa, Iowa) and Heather Hill (Spearfish, S.D.) bring back 22 of South Dakota State’s 88 points from the 2006 campaign. Even with the talent returning, South Dakota State’s program transitioned overnight from a well-balanced roster to a youthful roster with some veterans at key positions. The challenge of continuing to build the program at a the Division I level will be a test that Wedemeyer will be faced with in 2007. Wedemeyer and his squad have high expectations for this year, but who can blame them. Just one year after winning a conference title the team knows its season will come to an end for good on Nov. 4. However, the Jacks are not about to sit stagnant for a season. South Dakota State and Wedemeyer are looking at both the now and the future. “The team has its sights on finishing in the top four of The Summit League as a stepping stone to winning the conference tournament in 2008,” Wedemeyer said. “The focus of the freshmen will be to gain as much experience as possible so that we are well prepared for the next phase of our program—being fully eligible for NCAA tournament play next year.” Senior forward Kelsey Worcester (right) is South Dakota State University’s career points leader in the Division I era. Worcester has been one of the top two scorers in each of her three seasons at SDSU. Since joining the team in 2004, Worecester has collected 45 points in 55 games. 2007 Schedule Aug. 20 Jamestown (exh) Brookings, S.D. 1:00 p.m. Aug. 25 at Minnesota (exh) Minneapolis, Minn. 1:00 p.m. Aug. 31 Northern Iowa Brookings, S.D. 6:00 p.m. Sept. 7 Brookings, S.D. 7:00 p.m. Sept. 9 Mary (N.D.)
